Maptitude-- you name it. None of these applications could deal with the rigorous scheduling

demands of our business. We knew there had to be a better way.” The need to find that “better way” became critical when Meal Plan Delivery’s customer base doubled overnight with the signing of a new partner. The ensuing chaos resulted in too many late deliveries and inefficient routes. “I needed a robust, dynamic routing solution, and I needed it right away!”

"Key Software is top notch in everything they do, so I knew whatever route optimization service they would bring to the table would handle my business. And I was right."Jimmy Kostro - Founder Meal Plan Delivery

Jimmy and the Greenlight team moved quickly to onboard SmartRoute’s route optimization service

into Meal Plan Delivery’s Xcelerator dispatch platform for his New York deliveries. Completely

integrated, there was no longer any need to manage cumbersome file transfers between applications.

Built specifically for Last Mile Delivery customers, SmartRoute accounted for the specific and

“SmartRoute is THE answer. I was able to reduce my fleet cost by 20% almost immediately. In addition, what was taking my dispatchers 2-3 hours to process now took 5 minutes. My on-time delivery rate went up. SmartRoute has become a critical application for my business.”Jimmy Kostro - Founder Meal Plan Delivery

Jimmy continues: “The biggest challenge we had early on was to get drivers to actually follow the

SmartRoute optimized delivery sequences. Some of the drivers initially thought they could

outperform the optimized route by delivering orders out of sequence. For instance, they made

deliveries out of sequence to nearby stops early on their route. It intuitively made sense when

looking at a map as the location was close by. But in our business, every minute counts and these

deviations had a devastating ripple effect down the line, resulting in late delivery windows. After the

first week, we drilled it into the drivers that they had to follow the optimized sequence, no exceptions. When they followed the routes, the magic happened-- efficiency went way up and late deliveries

dropped!” With the New York region stabilized, Jimmy is now deploying SmartRoute for Meal Plan

Delivery in his other regions in Los Angeles, Boston, Washington DC, San Francisco, and Florida

“SmartRoute solves what has been a major headache for us and gives us the ability to scale and expand our business going forward. My advice: Just try it. It will change your business for the better.”
